    Night Head Genesis delivers an engrossing, satisfying read with plenty of suspense and a convincing atmosphere of mystery and danger. Naoto and Naoya have escaped from a research lab after being held prisoner since childhood, and all they want is the freedom to live a normal life. If there is one quibble I have with the story, it is the lack of background given during their confinement and subsequent dash to freedom. I am a little confused regarding this aspect of the plot, because there are no attempts to recapture them, and later on they do have contact with the head of the lab, which makes me believe that they were allowed to escape. Hopefully this will be cleared up as the series progresses

    Did you like Fuyumi Soryo’s ES: Eternal Sabbath (Del Rey)? I sure did. I was drawn in by its guarded, complex characters, philosophical digressions, astute science fiction, and Soryo’s attractive, versatile work as an illustrator. If you liked it, and if you’re game for a somewhat dumber version with hotter guys, may I recommend Night Head Genesis (Del Rey)? It’s based on a story by George Iida that has apparently seen a lot of adaptations and has been translated into a comic by the prolific You Higuri.

    Reading like that paranormal save-the-world movie you’ve probably seen done a dozen times on VHS, Night Head Genesis is a one-dimensional race against time that pits psychics against scientists and two brothers against the world they’re trying to save. Del Rey and You Higuri ensure the visual packaging makes this book a no-brainer on the pick-up-and-flip-through scale but read at all deeper and you’ll find this modern day mystery is as transparent as the cover’s fan service.

    Higuri’s crisp art makes some of her work much better than it has a right to be, and this is the case with Night Head Genesis. Night Head Genesis isn’t profound but it is extremely agreeable sci-fi schlock filled with the attractive guys one would expect from Higuri.
